The virus/disease has low mortality rates; yet (compared to more lethal viruses) high infection numbers.
WHO today said that 10% of the world population (7.8b) could be infected. It may be more; we may all have/had it.
Even by the current ratios, the WHO figures aren't good news. Although most infections are mild.
Extrapolating the figures though suggests many more deaths - on low ratios of death to illness.

Exactly my point; less lethal than media likes; more contagious.

It's not a mass killer compared to other viruses, but ranks highly for contagiousness.
Virtually every country on earth had infections within six months of the Chinese outbreak.

Would anyone take the vaccine ? And the track and trace in restaurants is flawed I always give out my defunct phone number and I never use my smart phone outdoors.
Also doesn't breach the data protection laws?
